'It's tricky to trust a presenter who feels God got him the job'.
'Dan Walker's creationism is an affront to reason, science and logic'
Just two of the headlines following the news that Dan Walker would be joining BBC Breakfast on Monday 29 February as a new presenter. BBC presenter Dan Walker, who doesn't work on Sunday's, says he does not want to be "persecuted" for being a devout Christian and wants to be able to get on with his job.
CATHY ASKS - Are we intolerant when it comes to Christians?

LANGUAGES
According to an Edinburgh University Academic, languages on the brink of dying out should be preserved in light of evidence that shows juggling different tongues is good for the brain. Professor Antonella Sorace, founder of the Bilingualism Matters Centre at the University of Edinburgh, is investigating the potential benefits of studying minority languages such as Sardinian and Scottish Gaelic.

MUSLIM CONVERT 
Cathy talks to Alan Rooney, a middle aged white man from Inverness, who converted to Islam despite never meeting a Muslim prior to making his decision.

SEXTING
Senior staff at Police Scotland have issued a warning to young people - sexting could land you on the sex offenders register. Police in the Highlands and Islands say they are dealing with sexting incidents involving children on a daily basis. And, according to a recent report - over 40% of girls aged between 13 and 17 have sent intimate images of themselves to others. So how rife is sexting in our schools? And do our kids know enough about the potential consequences? We talk to an 18 year old who says that sexting is just the norm - everyone she knows does it.

EXTREME EXERCISE
From Radio 1 presenter Greg James' 'Gregathlon' (for Sport Relief) to Channel Four's 'The Jump' we seem to be a nation obsessed with extreme health and fitness challenges. And personal trainer Louise Johnstone from Dundee is no different. Competing in a 156 mile marathon this April - and if you think that's hard, try doing it through the Sahara desert - that's exactly what she'll be doing. We'll also find out about what these extreme challenges can do to our bodies.

DISABILITY FASHION
M&S has launched a new clothing range to cater for children with special needs, inspired by three-year-old boy diagnosed with dystonic quadriparesis cerebral palsy. The supermarket was asked if they would consider a new line of garments which would cater to youngsters with disabilities, as his mother struggled to find clothes to fit her young son as he still uses nappies and is fed through a tube in his stomach. So does the fashion industry exclude people with disabilities? And how difficult is it for people with disabilities to shop for clothes? We talk to Clare Lally, who struggles to find clothes for her daughter who is also fed through a tube, and Elesha Turner from Models with Disabilities.

LIVING IN THE FUTURE
A new report has suggested that, 100 years from now, we'll live in an underwater 'bubble city', eat 3D-printed restaurant food and travel in our own personal drones. We find out what other futurologists make of the findings.
